Question

What's your pleasure?

You have three options for the evening.

1. You could watch some sitcoms on TV that you are certain to enjoy and that will provide you with a pleasure rating of 4.

2. You could go to a movie that is supposed to be good. You would enjoy the movie with probability 0.5; if you enjoy it, it will provide you with a relative pleasure rating of 11, but if you don't enjoy it, it will provide you with a negative rating of -2.

3. You could go on a date. With probability 0.3 you will experience a pleasure rating of 21, and a probability of 0.7 the date will provide a negative rating of -2.

Discuss what you would do.
